My first GSS

[pattye]

Parrot Lady, what a lovely strand of GSS and you wear them well!

Goodness, the mammogram pearls are a hoot!

CathyKeshi, fab new goldens, excited to see these in person!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Parrot Lady, your GSS are big and beautiful-- no need to wait for winter to wear them!

Do your parrots leave your pearls alone or do they want to nibble at them? A parrot that climbed on my hand at a pet shop wanted to nibble at everything-- my purse handles, my eyeglasses, you name it.

Pearl Dreams, my little cockatiel fancies himself as a jewelry appraiser, I think. He loves jewelry and can't keep his beak off. The larger parrots don't notice jewelry at all, thankfully. Their beaks would make short work of anything.

Parrot Lady, those are really nice gssps!!! I bet they make you feel like a queen wearing them!

PD, you're a hoot! lol!! I wouldn't be surprised if she asked to take a picture of them.

Cathy, that's so cute about Walter. He's really a gem!

[Pearl Dreams]

Stunning necklace, Bcm21mk!! That is a keeper for sure!

 

[CathyKeshi]

And BOOM, there's the gold Parrot Lady ... so much more gold in the photo on your neck ... and what lovely shapes!!!!

Bcm21mk, those look like melted gold! It's all in the lighting and the photos!!!!!!!

Always, always hold onto your new pearls for at least a week, so you can get to know them in a variety of lights, clothes etc.

Amti ... "a gem" ... in the rough is my Walter

Thanks all ... with apologies to Parrot Lady for taking her thread ... ! I do think a bit of creativity can make a certain color work when it might not usually work ... whether it be a complimentary color pearl or gem or metal mixed in somehow, or even the length ... a rope may work fine, where right up at the neck might now, or vice versa! There's a golden for everyone 2thdktr that lemon color golden sounds gorgeous!

It was SO much fun meeting and "playing pearls" with JerseyPearl ... she is a delight and her workmanship is impeccable. I was grinning and giggling for DAYS! JP, just remember, while THE WALTER harvest strand is my dearest work of art, it was your wire wrapped golden creation he decided to save from the food truck LOL. Not me, just the goldens That's Walter all right

Cathykeshi- I agree with using complimentary colors or mixed metals and gems as they can change a look into fabulous from meh. I would love to post my golden strand, but don't want to hijack this thread. Your food truck story and Walter are hysterical. I think it's terrific that he shares your passion for pearls!

Hijack away! I know everybody wants to see your strand -- I do!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Oh yes, please post your strand!

Alrighty, then-- very sweet of you. I will try to capture it's color on my crappy phone. But, it is appropriate for the thread as it is my first GSS too! May have to wait for some natural light tomorrow.

 

[2thdktr]

Here they are. I tried to capture the silver overtone as best I could.

 

[GemGeek]

Wowee. Those are an amazing color and so luminous!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Gorgeous luster and such an attractive color.

 

[Parrot Lady]

Beautiful pearls 2thdktr!
